Check engine/break/ABS/traction control/ cruise control and AT OIL TEMP lights are all on. Now my back break lights are not working! Car jerks at times. Read on a few forms that this was an issue for Subaru Imprezas 2012 and up. There was also a recall on this issue on April 2019. Please have this recalled again.

On 07/08/2019 I took my subaru impreza to a local dealership to have recalls wue90 and wty84 competed. It now seems that whatever work was done to satisfy the recalls has been causing the car to malfunction. The recall service was completed on 07/09, and I picked it up that day. Beginning on 07/10, however, the check engine and vehicle dynamics control warning lights started coming on intermittently. So far, these warning lights have displayed for a portion, or for the entirety, of 22 of the past 32 days. Both lights (check engine and vdc) have displayed together every time, and are usually on or off when the vehicle is started. When the lights are on, the cruise control does not function and I have noticed a significant (-21.6%) decrease from my average gas mileage. On four occasions that I am able to recall, the warning lights also came on under braking (I.e. They were off when I started the car and then turned on at some point during my trip when I pressed the brakes). Whether the warning lights are on or off, I have no way of knowing what isn't working (other than the cruise control as I mentioned). I have taken the vehicle back to subaru twice to try to resolve the issue: first on 07/10 and then on 08/07. They scanned the codes, did some work on it, and gave the car back to me, claiming that it was fixed. The one thing they are failing to consider is that the problem may actually be related to the service performed to complete the recalls because I've never had an issue with the vdc since I bought the car almost six years ago, and I don't believe the check engine light has come on during that period either. At this point, I don't even know if the car is safe to drive. Attachment: photo of warning lights after leaving the camelback subaru (phoenix, az) service shop on 08/07/2019.

2013 subaru impreza. Consumer writes in regards to brake assist system. *smd according to the subaru manual, the brake assist system assisted the brake power when the driver cannot depress the brake pedal strongly and the brake power was insufficient. Brake assist generated the brake power according to the speed at which the driver depressed the brake pedal. The consumer stated while driving in the right lane, on a rural interstate highway, with very little traffic. With the cruise control set at 65 MPH, he immediately had to hit the brake, as another driver moved into his lane. The consumer stated the power assist forcefully slowed the vehicle down, against his will. The consumer stated he found himself struggling with the accelerator pedal, to try and gain speed.
